During the reduction of nitro compound to an amine the oxidation number of nitrogen changes by

A

six units

B

five units

C

four units

D

three units

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`Ar-overset(+3)(N)overset(H_(2)" Catalyst")underset(underset((2)OH^(-))(or(1)F,HCl))rarrAr-overset(-3)(N)H_(2)`
Overall, this is a `6ebar` rediuction as the oxidation number of N changes `+3` to `-3`
